CARTE STEPS INTO THE ARENA

Sunnyvale, Calif. (June 22, 2012) – Card games
are serious business: Leading online game publisher GamesCampus.com
(
www.GamesCampus.com) announced a round of new
features for their global online trading card game,
Carte, based on user feedback. With numerous
balances and checks added to the match system to give players the
fairest duels yet, it’s the best time to shuffle your deck
and join in the card community at
carte.gamescampus.com, where downloading and
playing Carte is always free!

"The matchmaking system in Carte has always been one of the
game’s crowning achievements, but we knew it needed some
refinement, so we asked the players what their top suggestions were
and went to work." said Hubert Yee, Head of Marketing at
GamesCampus. "With numerous tweaks, both big and small, players
will see an immediate difference in their matches."

The newly launched Carte Arena is a suave matchmaking system
that adds numerous “quality of life” functions seen in
large, popular MMORPGs, made to scale for a card battle
system. First is an automated matchmaker system, which will
queue up willing opponents and search for suitable foes to conquer
– no more hunting for open rooms! This pairing system
will also intelligently match players of approximate skill level
together; no more inadvertently playing an opponent who is
completely dominating or completely clueless.

The new Arena also saves each season, both to compile a ranking
for all players (including leaderboards) but for players to be able
to review past match history to either brag about their stunning
victory, or study what led to their embarrassing loss. A
detailed section on union stats will also be available to players,
allowing them to get a better insight into card combinations and
adjust their decks and strategies to suit their needs.

This is all in addition to the freshly minted Arena Medals,
which is earned by competing in any Arena match. This new
currency allows players to purchase exclusive heroes and a variety
of cards not found anywhere else in Carte. All these changes,
with more coming in the future, will make players sing with glee,
“Everyday I’m shufflin’"
